    MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

    "It can happen. It does happen.

    But it can't happen if you quit." Lauren Dane.

    We are what we repeatedly do.

    Excellence then is not an act, but a habit. Aristotle

    It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank t

    last years editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.

    Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academexcellence and continuous improvement.

    I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners asupported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learni

    and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeti

    the needs of all students.

    It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order

    achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and looforward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.

    The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is looki

    forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken

    this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teacheare committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and pl

    the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

    The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positi

    challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holist

    needs of our students.

    I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of t

    opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.

    Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us

    this path.

    My best wishes to all.

    HISTORICAL ARTICLE

    William Harvey (1578-1657)

    William Harvey was the first person to correctly describe bloodscirculation in the body.He showed that arteries and veins form a complete circuit. The

    circuit starts at the heart and leads back to the heart.The hearts regular contractions drive the flow of blood around thewhole body.Early Life and Education:

    William Harvey was born on April 1, 1578 in Folkstone, England.He was born into a relatively wealthy family: his father, ThomasHarvey, was a successful businessman who became Mayor ofFolkstone; his mother, Joane Hawke, gave birth to nine children, ofwhom William was the eldest.William Harvey started his education at a small elementary schoolin Folkstone, moving on at the age of 10 to the elite KingsGrammar School in Canterbury.While attending Kings Grammar School he lived in his uncleshome and spent most of his school time learning the classics Latin was essential throughout Europe for academic and legalwork.Medical Student

    CambridgeIn 1593, aged 15, the young Harvey enrolled as a medical student atthe University of Cambridge; he had won a scholarship to pay hisliving costs and tuition fees there for six years. In the last two yearsof the six-year scholarship, he spent some time at universities in

    France, Germany and Italy, learning more about science andmedicine.PaduaIn 1599, aged 21, he enrolled at the University of Padua in Italy,

    which was acclaimed for its medical and anatomy courses.(Interestingly, when Harvey arrived in Padua,Galileo Galileihadalready been there for seven years, teaching mathematics, physicsand astronomy.)The greatest influence on Harvey at Padua University was histeacher, Hieronymus Fabricius, who was a skilled anatomist andsurgeon. The two became friends and Harvey learned fromFabricius that dissection offered a route to better understanding of

    the human body.Fabricius had discovered valves in human veins in 1574, althoughhe did not publish his discovery until 1603.An Outstanding StudentIn 1602, Harvey graduated as a Doctor of Medicine from Padua.William Harveys Work

    Harvey returned to England in 1602. On his return, the Universityof Cambridge awarded him a Doctor of Medicine degree, adding tothe one he already had from Padua. He then moved to London towork as a physician.He joined the College of Physicians in 1604, becoming a Fellow ofthe College in 1607 and Head Physician at St BartholomewsHospital.In 1615, aged 37, Harvey became the College of PhysiciansLumleian Lecturer, specializing in teaching surgery. In this role, hegave an annual series of lectures, while continuing his work at StBartholemews Hospital.

    By the time he was 40, Harvey had won recognition as the bestphysician in London and was appointed as physician to the king King James in 1618.In 1632, aged 54, he became physician to King Charles.

    The Circulation of Blood

    Harvey was able to make his discoveries because he ignoredmedical text books, preferring his own observations and thedeductions he made during dissections of animals.

    Harveys Main Conclusions about Blood CirculationHarvey showed for the first time that the arteries and veinscirculate blood through the whole body. He showed that thehearts beat produces a constant circulation of blood through thewhole body. He refuted many of the then standard beliefs of howthe heart and blood system worked, establishing that:

    blood in the arteries and the veins is all of the same origin, notmanufactured in different parts of the body

    the blood sent through the arteries to the tissues is not consumedthere

    the circulation mechanism is designed for movement of liquid, notair. The blood on the right side, although carrying air, is still blood

    the heart is the source of blood movement, not the liver the heart contracts at the same time as a pulse is felt the ventricles squeeze blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery the pulse is not produced by the arteries pulling blood in, but by

    blood being pushed by the heart into the arteries, enlarging them there are no vessels in the hearts septum: all of the blood in the

    right ventricle goes to the lungs and then through the pulmonaryveins to the left ventricle

    Similarly, all of the blood in the left ventricle is sent into thearteries, round by the smaller veins into the venae cavae, and thento the right ventricle again. In this way, the circulation is complete.The blood has come back to where it began its circuit of the body

    there is no to-and-fro movement of blood in the veins, but a

    constant flow of blood to the heart.The End:

    William Harvey died in London, aged 79, at the home of one of hisbrothers, on June 3, 1657. The cause of death was most probably acerebral hemorrhage. He had no children, and his wife, Elizabeth

    KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE

    Dengue

    Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral. Dengue virus is transmitted byfemale mosquitoes mainly of the speciesAedes aegyptiand, to a lesserextent,A. albopictus. The disease is widespread throughout thetropics, with local variations in risk influenced by rainfall,temperature and unplanned rapid urbanization.Severe dengue (also known as Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever) wasfirst recognized in the 1950s during dengue epidemics in thePhilippines and Thailand. Now a days, severe dengue affects mostAsian and Latin American countries and has become a leadingcause of hospitalization and death among children in these regions.There are 4 distinct, but closely related, serotypes of the virus thatcause dengue (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3 and DEN-4). Recovery frominfection by one provides lifelong immunity against that particularserotype. However, cross-immunity to the other serotypes afterrecovery is only partial and temporary. Subsequent infections byother serotypes increase the risk of developing severe dengue.Transmission

    TheAedes aegyptimosquito is the primary vector of dengue. Thevirus is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected femalemosquitoes. After virus incubation for 410 days, an infectedmosquito is capable of transmitting the virus for the rest of its life.Infected humans are the main carriers and multipliers of the virus,serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes. Patientswho are already infected with the dengue virus can transmit theinfection (for 45 days; maximum 12) via Aedes mosquitoes after

    their first symptoms appear.TheAedes aegypti mosquito lives in urban habitats and breedsmostly in man-made containers. Unlike other mosquitoesAe.aegyptiis a day-time feeder; its peak biting periods are early in themorning and in the evening before dusk. FemaleAe. aegyptibitesmultiple people during each feeding period.

    Aedes albopictus, a secondary dengue vector in Asia, has spread toNorth America and Europe largely due to the international trade inused tyres (a breeding habitat) and other goods (e.g. luckybamboo).Ae. albopictusis highly adaptive and, therefore, can survive

    in cooler temperate regions of Europe. Its spread is due to itstolerance to temperatures below freezing, hibernation, and abilityto shelter in microhabitats.CharacteristicsDengue fever is a severe, flu-like illness that affects infants, youngchildren and adults, but seldom causes death.Dengue should be suspected when a high fever (40C/104F) isaccompanied by 2 of the following symptoms: severe headache,

    pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains, nausea, vomiting,swollen glands or rash. Symptoms usually last for 27 days, afteran incubation period of 410 days after the bite from an infectedmosquito.Severe dengue is a potentially deadly complication due to plasmaleaking, fluid accumulation, respiratory distress, severe bleeding,or organ impairment. Warning signs occur 37 days after the firstsymptoms in conjunction with a decrease in temperature (below38C/100F) and include: severe abdominal pain, persistentvomiting, rapid breathing, bleeding gums, fatigue, restlessness andblood in vomit. The next 2448 hours of the critical stage can belethal; proper medical care is needed to avoid complications andrisk of death.TreatmentThere is no specific treatment for dengue fever.For severe dengue, medical care by physicians and nursesexperienced with the effects and progression of the disease can

    save lives decreasing mortality rates from more than 20% to lessthan 1%. Maintenance of the patient's body fluid volume is criticalto severe dengue care.ImmunizationThere is no vaccine to protect against dengue. However, majorprogress has been made in developing a vaccine against

    dengue/severe dengue. Three tetravalent live-attenuated vaccinesare under development in phase II and phase III clinical trials, and3 other vaccine candidates (based on subunit, DNA and purifiedinactivated virus platforms) are at earlier stages of clinical

    development. WHO provides technical advice and guidance tocountries and private partners to support vaccine research andevaluation.Prevention and controlAt present, the only method to control or prevent the transmissionof dengue virus is to combat vector mosquitoes through:

    preventing mosquitoes from accessing egg-laying habitats byenvironmental management and modification;

    disposing of solid waste properly and removing artificial man-made habitats; covering, emptying and cleaning of domestic water storage

    containers on a weekly basis; applying appropriate insecticides to water storage outdoor

    containers; using of personal household protection such as window screens,

    long-sleeved clothes, insecticide treated materials, coils andvaporizers;

    improving community participation and mobilization forsustained vector control;

    applying insecticides as space spraying during outbreaks as one ofthe emergency vector-control measures;

    active monitoring and surveillance of vectors should be carried outto determine effectiveness of control interventions.
